After a period of decline and uncertainty about the future of the hall in the 20th century, it was purchased in 1994 by the billionaire property entrepreneur Jon Hunt.

Hunt has since spent considerable sums of money on both the house and ground including the implementation of plans by Capability Brown for 500 acres (200 ha) of parkland and lakes that had never been realised.

[3] It was bought by Abdul Amir Al-Ghazzi, an Iraqi businessman, via a Swiss-registered company with conditions that certain works would be carried out on the property.

[4] After being on the market for 3 years, the hall and grounds were bought in 1994 by current owner and Foxtons founder Jon Hunt and his wife for use as a family home.

[9] Since the 1990s the Hunts have also returned 510 acres (210 ha) of the grounds using Capability Brown's original – but never implemented – designs, working with the noted English landscape architect Kim Wilkie.

[10][11][12] Restoring Brown's vision required Wilkie and Hunt to remove modern features inconsistent with an 18th-century design.
